This is the worst loss of the Johnny Jones era

Given the circumstances. If you want to say the NC State game last year in the tournament was worse, that's fine. But this team should have a higher ceiling than last year's team.

We're sitting atop the SEC standings with a chance to win the conference. A big home game that could go a long way determining our NCAA Tournament chances/seeding. A lot on the line.

Now, I'm not saying this is all Jones' fault. Don't get me wrong, the staff was terrible tonight (as usual). We had 3 timeouts remaining with a little over a minute left in the game. We stayed in the zone for no reason, when everyone but our coaching staff could tell it was killing us and giving up wide open shots over and over again, while we also couldn't rebound out of it. Don't give me the crap about us staying in it because Victor had 4 fouls. You can't sacrifice that many open shots and rebounding just for that reason.

But besides that, the effort tonight was ridiculously terrible. No heart. Obviously, we had a lot of guys who had bad offensive nights, but that doesn't excuse playing with shite effort. We couldn't rebound, we committed lazy fouls, we were just bad on defense overall.

Missed free throws and layups left and right. Alabama had 14 turnovers to our 5 turnovers, and we still couldn't win the game.

Passive on offense. Shot way too many three pointers. Didn't get the ball inside enough. Just awful. No energy inside the building tonight either.

I know Alabama has come on strong lately, but they aren't some great team. They are challenged offensively, and we honestly match-up very well with them. Losing this game could honestly be a season-changer. I am no longer confident in this team accomplishing anything.
